Drive-thru Gourmet: New Melts take the Subway

Dec. 8, 2010, 11:05AM
This week I reached out for a foot-long Chipotle Steak & Cheese Melt, one of the new Amazin' Melts, at America's No. 1 fast-food chain, Subway, with 33,749 restaurants practically on every corner coast to coast and 93 foreign countries, including a few that are still talking to us since WikiLeaks spilled the beans.
There are four Amazin' Melts in all — Chipotle Steak & Cheese and Chipotle Chicken & Cheese are new, while the Italian B.M.T. and Chicken Marinara Melt have been around a while.
In case you're wondering, B.M.T. is a famous subway line (get it?) in New York. B.M.T. stands for Brooklyn Manhattan Transit. At a Subway sandwich shop, B.M.T. means Biggest Meatiest Tastiest. Both the subway line and the line of sandwiches have a distinctive aroma.
According to the wordsmiths in Subway's marketing department, these sandwiches are "meltastic" and "meltalicious" and other words that you'd challenge in a Scrabble game.
Here's the Chipotle Steak & Cheese Melt blueprint: pieces of grilled steak, cheese, your choice of vegetable toppings and Chipotle Southwest sauce on your choice of bread. My veggie picks were green bell peppers, red onions, cucumbers, lettuce and tomatoes. I didn't feel that jalapeños, pickles and olives fit this sandwich. My bread selection was Hearty Italian.
Total calories: 1,110 (for the foot-long, definitely not Jared-approved). Fat grams: 45. Carbs: 105. Dietary fiber: 7. Manufacturer's suggested retail price: $7. Your mileage may vary.
Subway is also introducing a Breakfast B.M.T., with egg whites, Black Forest ham, salami, spicy pepperoni and melted cheese on an English muffin. Salami and pepperoni on your way to work? Now that smells like a subway ride.

I am not a big breakfast person....I had the munchies and tried the Steak and Egg foot long sub @ Subway. It was great and filling.
Just like with their regular subs you can get whatever you want on it. I always get everything plus jalapenos
Maxy, don't people that smoke the creepy weed get that?@)
Wallet gone, but man tracks down thief and gets $2,000 back

John Teeter, an out-of-work handy man, picked up some breakfast at the Destin Subway on Wednesday and accidentally left his wallet with his ID, credit cards and $2,000 in cash — money he had planned to spend on a utility trailer — on the counter, reports the Northwest Florida Daily News.
About 12 minutes later, a woman bought breakfast, picked up his wallet from the counter and left.
Goodbye, wallet.
Well, not exactly.
Teeter decided to fight back.
He contacted local media and created his own website showing video of the girl taking the wallet. Subway’s manager had provided Teeter with a copy of the video surveillance of the crime, according to the Daily News.
Finally, Teeter said, the girl contacted him Friday and apologized. The two met at Sandestin and the girl returned the money. She had tossed his wallet, reports the Daily News.
Teeter said he would not press charges against her.
“I will definitely be a Subway customer for a while,” Teeter told the Daily News.
